Head coach Alexander Petrakov commented on Armenia's win over Wales (4-2) in their Euro 2024 qualifying match.
- Many people are surprised by this result. Are you, too?
- No. I'm not surprised.
- Congratulations, you must be very happy.
- We have a game with Latvia in two days. If you celebrate this victory now and then play poorly against Latvia, then this victory will not be worth anything later.
- Do you think this Welsh team is different from the one you played against last year?
- A difficult question. Do you want me to belittle the Armenian team's win? I will not do that. So you are the better judge of that.
In Wales, everyone is there, everyone is playing. Only one player is missing - Bale. I think it will somehow make it less important for the Armenian lads to win.
- What was your aim before the start of qualifying, and what is it now?
- I came to Armenia to qualify for the big tournament, to take the national team there.
